love the notarubicon sticker
I've actually used the tire foam before. Made it look brand new!
Wipe New is the way too go, used it on my Jeep. One summer and winter later, still looks awesome.
I used Meguiar's Hot Shine High Gloss Tire foam and it worked for a number of applications, but after a while, it works less and less and you can actually damage the bumper/trim surface over time and many applications (only lasts a few weeks at best) where it gets gritty and has swirls which can't be removed unless you repaint the bumpers.
I would not use anything other than products specifically made for painted surfaces on painted surfaces.. All discussion in this video is about the textured black plastic, non-painted bumpers and fenders.
This works great I’ve been using it for a few years now and it does not have that super shiny look it looks like brand new rich deep black
I found an easier way is tape off around the fenders and buy some spray cans of satin Krylon fusion paint and I’ll stay that color ,mine been that color for six years now no grayish , 99 sport
I'm a big fan of Mother's Back to Black. I prefer the spray over the cream. In addition to the bumpers and fenders, I use it on the hood latches, door handles, gas cap area, etc. I'll give the tire foam a try.
SK8TR 4LIFE does it work for metal bumpers?
Thanks for the tip, wasn’t too excited about the ArmorAll tire foam for fender flares, but that goes back to P.O. using plastic coat on them. BUT, it did wonders on my 6 year old BestTop! Looks brand new, kinda
I just used armored all tire foam sprayed it let it sit little bit and just wiped them with cloth looking great again.
Pledge lemon works awsome too especially lnterior dressing
I actually would’ve preferred links
Me too.
I use the 303 after a wash and it will last about 3 or 4 weeks I think. Not sure cause I am not the most consistent at keeping the jeep clean lol.
I also use the back to black on all of my black on my rubicon and am very pleased with the way they look afterwards. Also open my hood and use it on all of my hoses and otherwise items under the hood. sure get lots of compliments on how great under the hood looks.
Try the tire-spray! it's faster and less work - then come back and let us know if you like it better than the Back to Black.
Will give it a try the next time.
this water and soap you speak of I don't think my jeep's ever seen it.
nightprowler Funny sh*t man! Needed that laugh, thank you
Lol. Funny
That's my secret foam cleaner for my black Silverado also.
I actually used GooGone on my fenders, they were graying and i removed a bumper sticker and noticed it worked on my bumper endcaps. They've been looking good for a few days now. No idea how long they'll last like that tho.
Try using a rotary scrub brush to apply Mother's Back to Black. It's fast and convenient. Best, it works.
Mean Green or similar degreaser, wash off, dry, apply Penetrol. Lasts months. I do this once a year and the Jeep lives outside.
the paint additive right?
303 extends the life of tires and fan belts.
Meme T-Shirts even back then - what a legend 😊
Wow I stopped using armor all tire foam because there are way better products out there, good thing I still had some available great video!
I use Superior Products CoverAll, works inside and out on plastics and rubber.
Try new wipe it is crazy outstanding I never believed in as seen stuff but this changed my mind forever
I was just looking for this fix. Thanks Randy.
Back to Black. Quick. Easy. Done.
Try maple syrup. “I happen to know everything there is to know about maple syrup. I even use it in my hair. What do you think holds it up!?”
I've tried a lot of products, but they all seem to fade eventually. HOWEVER, I have a single drop from filling up the tank that hit the fender and it is black as night, even though the rest of the fender is graying. A light layer of gasoline as the solution?
I would think not.. aside from the obvious hazard, my guess is that it would not take long before the gasoline would start causing problems on the petroleum-based plastic fenders.
I found that armorall hurts the paint in the chasssie and found that maguiers is way better and leave a better finish
Worked great thanks for the tire foam tip
Degreaser first then armor all tire foam.. And u have a brand new fender
heliezer gaxiola Super Clean! Lol love that stuff and simple green.
heliezer gaxiola took my jeep today to hand wash 18$ wasted they did horible job. Inner fenders were muddy, did not clean my flares i ended up buying bottle of armor all foam did the trick. It kinda works like degreaser i sprayed under and inner flare sat there for few mins mud got loose just used water jet cleaned it good. Flares i let it sit for few sec and just wiped with cloth. One bottle lasted cleaned under carriage too.
Awesome shirt!
Thanks so much!!! Exactly what I needed to know

Another great video. Have you done any on trail scratches on the paint yet? The over growth on Sugarpine got me good. Looks like Wolverine ran his blades down the sides of my Jeep
The sides of The NotARubicon are covered in "California pinstripes".. The light ones come out with some polish or light rubbing compound, but the deep ones are there to stay.
thanks
Silicon based stuff rocks!
Anyone have any issues with the 303 stuff streaking after a rain and leavin streak marks down the side of the paint?? Also the plastic I put it on, if it does rain or leaves streak marks as if the rain is washing it off.
I've never had that issue with 303.. It sounds like you are putting on way too much and/or not fully/properly rubbing/buffing it out when applying.
rev9fan1 ,. I put the 303 on the paint after I use a polymer wax.
I love 303 been using it for years.
I use it on my RV , 2016 Toyota Tundra, 2013 Jeep Wrangler and my kayak.
The people from 303 Aerospace are awesome. You can call them.
Very good company.
I have metal flares will this work on them
Great tip. I will try it.
Thanks
what about the hardtop
what product your using to keep it clean and black
we dont do much with the hard-top. occasionally we will rub it down with a mixture of water and ArmorAll which will make it look nice for a while. We mix it with water so it's not too oily/doesnt attract too much dust.
Hey, thanks for the info. I've got a dark grey Jeep Patriot 2011 with black bumpers and trim which I have neglected for a long time and it has all faded to a dull grey now. I was thinking of just cleaning it up and trying regular old Armor All spray. Do you think that will give the same results as the tire foam spray you used??
thats i use on my fenders but alot of rubbing about hallf med spray bottle and it keeps though the summer :D
Great info and thanks for posting...
Thanks for the tips.
You're welcome. Please try it and come back and let us know how it works for you!
Liquid coconut oil. Thank me later...
Yes!, Thanks. Tell your brother Joe I said Hello
Say what so my fenders are grey need to get them black again. U r telling me coconut oil will bring it back to black? Don’t tease me sir
Maybe I missed the information, but would you use the Armor all tire cleaner on stock jeep fenders?
You could. Try it first in a small spot to see how it works.
I wonder if a heat gun on a hot day would bring them back to black? I've seen a dodge caravan with faded step bumber and applying a heat gun on a hot day brings back the oils.. Not sure if its the same material though. Just an idea. :)
A lot of people have reported success using a heat gun. When we tried it, it did bring back the black, but it also melted down the texture in a lot of spots and basically ruined it...

Armorall tire foam for cleaning fenders.
What can you use to keep your hard top looking new ....
I've been using JetSeal 109 from Chemical Guys once a year or so and the black hard top on my 2002 TJ still looks perfect.
A different top
Will the tire foam also work on soft top covers?? Has anyone tried it?
Tire foam still working good?
We still use it about every 2nd or 3rd time we wash the jeep!
@@TheNotaRubicon dang, you are hardcore! Thanks
Back to black is good product too near cars soaps
Excellent video but what im curious of is if the tire foam has any UV protection? I just bought a brand new willys and im look for an application that cleans shines and give UV protection.
kwazykilla87
UV protection?
What for?
just go for the tire foam bud. it makes a difference.
Well done

Aerospace 303 are liars. Got it. 😃 I think I’m just going to paint my original fenders black. 👍
I used pledge spray to get black
I've seen videos where people use heat guns to turn the faded plastic trim back to deep black.
We did that on the stock fenders as a test. You have to be extremely careful not to melt out the texture of the fenders and ruin them.
NotaRubicon Productions copy thanks for the quick reply. Enjoyed your video.
Doesn't work very well
Was there a video edit at 3:28 ?
Yes, that was a transition.
It looked like the label on the bottle changed.
Ronseal garden furniture oil works excellent........a lot cheaper 2
Hopefully it doesn't make them shiny, does it? I just wanna keep them black and not faded.
No. does not make them shiny like Armorall does.
Hey thanks. One quick question, just got a softtop jk. Wondering if I could run it through an auto brushless car wash without hurting the vinyl windows or softtop. Any advice or experience you can share?
Sorry, TheNotARubicon is a hard-top. We'll have to wait for some soft-top owners to reply.
Sonny D. Hi sunny I run my jeep through a brushless car wash it does not hurt the soft-top at all.
I go through a "LaserWash" touchless high-pressure wash all the time. No problems except it can blow the velco open a bit. Have to check them afterwards but that's just water pressure.

I just buy new fenders when they get dirty
303!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tyre shine.
Try wd40
